Oh Mylanta!

Somebody please hand Jo Jo a bottle. That gurrrrl is sick to her stomach. All. The. Time. This show should come with a warning label May cause heartburn, upset stomach and an overwelming urge to crouch in formal wear (or lean over a balcony in you are Jason Mesnick).

Rose Ceremony..
we pick it up this week with Jo Jo crouching on the tarmac...will Luke's last minute profession of love lead to a change of heart.
Nope!
Luke is denied...and he's confused. He just doesn't get it. I think he needs to mosey back to the farm to think about it.
If I was a betting person..i would have selected Luke over Chase.

Off they go to Thailand...for the ...whah?? Jo Jo called them Exotic Overnight Dates. I thought the show was going to mess with ritual, but it was her error. They still are ..the fantasy overnight dates. phew.

First date.
Robbie.
It is hot hot hot in Thailand.and she likes to tell everyone she's sweating all over.
They go to a market, get rained on.then they head for Thai massages. Which it looked like a foot massage..and then feel they must make out while they are in separate chairs. After the massage they find a place on the dock so they can kiss some more.
Dinner  (and card presentation time).
Jo Jo looks smokin' hot in her red dress and her beige heels...that whole look was working for her.  Robbie showed up in a jacket. The look was good..but the lone bead of sweat on his forehead put the word effort in the effortless look he has going on. There was a lot of reading on this date.. Robbie pulled something out of his pocket..a letter! not for Jo Jo..but for Robbie from his dad..that Robbie wanted Jo Jo to keep in case she felt doubt. Huh? So Robbie thinks a 3rd party endorsement will help Jo Jo believe him that the past is the past (and yeah..that relationship with his ex was over 9 months before he broke it off). Huh? Robbie is so confusing...how did he put the 9 month date on it. Can you back date a break up?Maybe he has a letter from his ex that he can pass to Jo Jo.
Jo Jo passes him the date card...And before you can say "Swimmers take your marks", they are off to the fantasy suite.
Jo Jo reveals..."I feel ready and want to be intimate. And I want to take that next step." I'm thinking   they are totally playing scrabble and staying up all night talking:)
She ends with "I've always wanted to feel so special and so loved"
Hmmm...sounds like it's all about her ego.
Cut to the morning..where it kinda seems like she needs to get outta there...they ignore the breakfast at the foot of the bed.


Next sweaty date: Jordan
This date Jo Jo's eyeliner seems a bit excessive.or maybe the pencil melted as she was applying it.
Jordan says that they have fun on the dates...but maybe because he' always winning on the dates..roses, at the football game.
This date they go for an uphill hike..they are both sweaty. I"m unsure why she has a shirt tied around her waist on such a hot day...but it was for the sacred temple..where she laments she can't kiss him..but they still are intertwined. Jo Jo always needs validation.. i.e. Jo jo to Jordan "Don't kiss me, I know you want to". Yeesh..i almost feel bad for her.

At dinner...before the card presentation.. Jo Jo needs more..
she starts talking about how this decision and marriage is such  big deal.....where Jordan replies.."the biggest moment is when the guy talks to the daughter's dad". Seriously Jordan..that's your biggest moment..getting approval from another male?? Sigh.
Then Jo Jo circles in to ask..what does the next year look like for you...and Jordan can't tell her (bad move Jordan..jo jo likes all the right answers for all the right reasons" Then he tells her he doesn't need a home base. What is his job? And that answer didn't help. Then she talks about her fears and what Ben said to her. she really needs to put Ben down.
Then Jordan finally tells her that he's a better person with her and he thinks about  a wedding day it is with Jo jo. Thats' the ticket to the key Jordan...
the date card comes..and Jordan's response to the date card was "Okay fine"

Things must have been fine because Jo Jo stayed for breakfast. She also said they took a step in a very exciting direction.

Chase is chasing.
Chase is grateful, optimistic and showering love and toasts on this date. The fish juice dripped on his t-shirt..must have been some type of foreboding on this date. Chase was laying the love on thick...and when it came to date card time...he accepted... They enter the suite through a sliding door...interesting..I wondered if they did that because it was the exact same room as the other one. Chase toasts again..and tells her he loves her.but uh-oh. Jo jo's not feeling well...she needed some air and realized she can't spend the night with Chase. Good decision Jo Jo..you're already in love with two guys. Chase doesn't take the news well. He can't believe he divulged all that and now he's out. But really..noone is forcing anyone to say anything..just because Jo Jo likes to hear that stuff..doesn't mean you have to say it.  Jo Jo explains she doesn't want to do to him what Ben did to her (oh please, Ben again!!)Chase leaves..Jo Jo follows..and then he tells her she did exactly what Ben did. Jo Jo then chases Chase:)...but there is nothing she can say. Chase someone secures a can of beer..and says he feels like his pants were pulled down and he was kicked in the nuts. Eloquent.  I wonder if he could get the key to his room back.

Rose Ceremony.
Hallelujah for hot weather..I like Jo Jo's outfits better in the heat..She looked fantastic...loved her jewellery..Jordan wore tight pants, flip flops and a lot of hair spray. Robby wore his signature loafers (sockless) and a to of Dippity Do to secure his hair.
Jo Jo descends and tells the guys how she let Chase go an how upset and angry- what..wait.here comes Chase. Jordan is in disbelief.. Chase gets a moment of her time...and proceeds to do one of the most mature lovely things in Bachelor history..he told her he was upset last night, but is not angry at her, he love her..and respects her. And he wasn't there to ask for a second chance. Nicely done Chase..then he walked off...Not sure if he did squats that morning..but he was looking mighty fine in those pants.

 Jo Jo was back to feeling unwell.

But she collects herself then she goes back to tell the guys she doesn't love Chase..so maybe letting them know she loves two people instead of 3 makes them feel special?

Then she hands out the roses. Why did she pick Jordan first? Does it matter? does that mean Robbie is the last one standing?

Judging from the previews next week, Jo Jo's going to be sick to her stomach a lot.

She did say earlier "When did falling in love become so hard"...

Tomorrow...MTA..then next week..the big finale.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
